Ron’s Other List

Incredible experience! It was VERY COLD but I loved going to the game with my wife.

MACE 2017

21st annual and it was a lot of fun. had to make room for the Dolphins on Sunday (Monday night game with the Panthers) which cased stress. There were a lot of ups and a few downs. We were down in attendance but after 21 years, you can't always go up. It'was awesome meeting DM Scotty!

Evanescence: Synthesis Live With Orchestra

Enjoyable music although she mostly played the songs I normally skip. She has an incredible voice!

RonCon Fall 2017

Pretty good turn out, 8 people. I ran a 5 player Shatterzone, first time in 20 years. The game has its flaws. Needs to be simplified.

Auburn @ Clemson 2017 College Football

Last minute tickets ($$$), scramble to find babysitters (thanks Grandma!), and a mad dash to get to Clemson in time (a place I had never been too). Good game but Auburn lost, 14 to 6. No offensive line what-so-ever and QB got sacked 11 times. Terrible. Returned home by 4 AM. Long night! Well worth it.

Rock the Park, Carowinds. Skillet

One of the best concerts I have seen! Awesome family outing

ConCarolinas 2017 (Gaming)

Gaming had less space but better turn out. We were close to packed.

MACE West 2017

Had a blast. Ran 3 board games and 1 RPG. All were either full or close. Ran my second installment of the Reich Star adventures and everyone had fun. There is something about MACE West that makes it special. I hope it continues but recent news make me worry.

RonCon Spring 2017

Another private, invite only game day I host at my parents lake house. Ran a Call of Cthulhu adventure - Genius Loci. Made some changes to the overall plot. Played the asylum curator a little too well because now a player wants to hunt him down and continue the campaign.

mini-mace 2017

Ran two games - CoC and Scythe. Playing another - Champions of Midgard. Enjoyed them all. Largest mini-mace ever! Over 100 attendance. We may need to think about a new location.

MACE 2016

20th Anniversary. All four of my games were full and I had a blast!

RonCon Fall 2016

Had a good turn out, ran Titansgrave one shot and Sheriff of Nottingham

ConGregate 2016

Highly disappointed on how gaming has developed for this con. It has not at all and I don\'t see that changing. I think the aspects of cosplay and gaming do not mix well.

ConCarolinas 2016 (Gaming)

My focus was gaming and that is the only place you saw me, for the most part. From a gaming point of view, I had a great time. Played A LOT of games. Cthulhu Wars was awesome! Everything else I tried to ignore.

MACE West 2016

Had a blast. Ran 3 games with 4 or more players. That has never happened before but maybe because I am running more Savage Worlds. Ran Call of Cthulhu 7e (Restoration of Evil), and two of my own adventures in Savage Worlds. One is for Battle for Oz - the second draft of The Emerald Knight. And then the second was another version of my Vermin of Sarin Prime in THe Last Parsec setting.

RonCon Spring 2016

Another private, invite only game day I host at my parents lake house. Ran a Call of Cthulhu adventure - Dark Rivals. Changes and modification are posted on this web site. It was quite fun.

MACE East 2016

A good start. The good outweighed the bad overall

MACE 2015

Higher attendance, more gaming and expanded the use of OGRe. Great weekend! My Buy a Little Luck idea was a huge success!

RonCon Fall 2015

Another great RonCon in the books. Ran A Savage World conversion of <a href="http://www.rpgnow.com/product/55579/Fright-Night-GHOST-SHIP?term=GHost+ship">Fright NIght: GHOST SHIP</a> with a few little personal twists. That was awesome! Then played Space Movers ... loved it!!

Charlotte 49ers Home Opener!

49ers 34 / Presby College 10. Total defensive domination but the offense was conservative. They switched up QBs a lot I guess because MJ is a senior. Or maybe he was hurt and I missed it. Encouraging game. Now the real fight begins!

Best year! Had a great time with Con-Killer, D&D 5 and Achtung Cthulhu!

UNC Charlotte Football 2014

Ends with a losing season, less than 12k in attendance and a serious concern about the CUSA status.

UNC Charlotte Football 3 and 0!!

First three games of the season in the books with 3 great wins!

Con-Gregate 2014

Good start for a new con. Gaming was fun but needed more gamers.

StormCon 2014

Great atmosphere and energy at this con. Enjoyed all the gaming I did

RavenCon 2014

Great time in Richmond Va. Met some good people and had fun running Achtung! Cthulhu

MACE West 2014

Incredible Weekened up in Asheville. Tons of gaming and had a blast

RonCon Spring 2014

Had a blast running Achtung Cthulhu!

mini-mace 2014

New venue, great location. Played one game of Spartacus (probably not the best game to play in a church) and had to leave. Had a great time.

Panthers vs. New England Patriots 24-20

Incredible experience!

MACE 2013

Great Con! Great Turn Out! Largest attendance yet

The John D. Reavis Hammer of Thor Scholarship

We established a scholarship for the Guild. I am very proud of what this has turned into. It is agreat tribute to John and who he was.

UNCC 49ers 22 vs UNC Pembroke 45

Heart breaking loss

UNCC 49ers 53 vs Gardner-Webb 51

Most awesome football experience I have had!!!!!!!!!

UNCC 49ers 13 vs NC Central 40

Ugggh! Our first loss

UNCC 49ers 47 vs. Chowan 7!

GO NINERS!

UNCC Football: 49ers vs Campbell

1st game EVER and I was there with my lovely wife. We had a blast! 52 to 7! Way to go Niners!

Charticon 2013

A small Transformers con convention. I attended for about an hour (yes, I paid a full day to be there for an hour). I wanted to support locals cons while at the same time bond with my son. He had a great time.

Panthers Vs. Bears

Panthers Preseason Opener 2013. Not a fan of preseason but it was good to see the starters for a little while. Left early because I just could not get into the game. It's preseason.

RoundCon 2013

JustUs Productions ran gaming. It went pretty well. We built up a good network to make next year even better.

StormCon 2013

Great weekend of gaming with some great people.

Origins 2013

First Origins. Awesome!

MACE West 2013

Great con. But it has struggling. Virtually no growth in 3 years. We need 50 or so more people and we would be fine.

RonCon Spring 2013

Not the best I have had but still it was fun. Perhaps it has peaked. I dunno. RonCon Fall is not certain.

Mysticon 2013

First time at a Virginia con, and it was fun. They are all not that much different up there. Good con, a little crowded bit only because they had Peter Davidson (Dr. Who, 5th Doctor), Orson Scott Card, and Larry Elmore. Incredible line up.

SCARAB 2013

Fun con where Jeff and I go to play. DId a little of that but also talked a lot of con shop with the SCARAB, Stormcon and Gnomecon folks. With the big RoundCon announcement, it kind of put us in the middle of it all.

MACE 2012

AWESOME! Best MACE ever!

RonCon Fall 2012

Best Ever! 14 people. Played Call of Cthulhu, Fortress America and some Dungeon Twister. Also had Fiasco, Quarriors, and Pathfidner games going on.

Panthers Fan Fest 2012

Very cool opportunity to hang out at the stadium, buy some Panthers stuff, and see them practice.

Starrise at Corrivale

Took me almost a year but I finally finished this book. It`s not a big book, just slow. I am not entirely sure I like Diane Duane`s writing style. But the last two chapters made the book. It could have been a lot shorter book.

ConCarolinas 2012

A lot went right, a lot more went wrong. It is getting to the point that the best we can do is control the chaos. 1400+ people

HeathCon I (April 2012)

Great time at Heath's place, playing Savage Worlds Low Life.

Food Lion Auto Fair (Charlotte Motor Speedway)

Nothing overly exciting about the show but because I ran into Fox`s Wilson, I got to put my ugly face on the big HD TV! Kinda cool!

Modest turnout in a down economy, 45 people, counts as an average year.

SCARAB 2012

I had a really good time. Played Savage Worlds, Posthumous Z, and Dungeon Twister. All AWESOME games!

MACE 2011

Great MACE, last one in High Point. Good numbers and had a great time!

Breakfest with UNCC Coach & WBT FOcus group

I had a busy Tuesday Oct 4. Had breakfast at the Univ. Hilton with the football coach of UNCC new football team and then that afternoon, spent the evening at WBT talking about talk radio. It was fascinating. Never been more part of the Charlotte community.

Starfall (Stardrive short story novel)

Finally finished this book. Some stories were good, some stories were not.

Panther Fan Fest 2011

Fun time wiht my oldest daughter and son. It was a little hot though, could not stay the whole time.

Dokken at Amos's Southend

Awesome. The guy can still rock!

minimace 2011

Attendance highest ever! New record for mini-mace attendance. 83! Had to use two rooms!

MACE 2010

Another good year. About the same attendance as last year, lots of gaming, and a great board game area (in the restaurant.)

Good weekend of gaming, 55 people turned out and that was without an L5R tournament. I marshalled two games and really did not get to play anything.

MACE 2009

Fantastic time Best year ever!

Guild Game Day Fall 2008 - 12/13/2008

Book: The Dark Wing by Walter H Hunt

This universe in incredible. I thoroughly enjoyed the first book and hope to read the next. Took me 6 months to read it but I finished it.

Book: World War Z by Max Brooks

Dang good book! Needs to be a board game. That might come out after the movie.

Babylon 5 Campaign Started

So it begins… "Ghosts in the Shadows"<br /><br />Playing with a new guy in our group that was 7 when the first B5 episode aired.

Battlestar Galactica, The Board Game

Played it three times, all with different results, but in the end either the Cylons won or were close to winning. it is a tough game to be a human, but it is fun. See my review in Scrye #127.

The End of the Fading Suns d20 Campaign

After 2+ years, it is finally over. I have been wanting to run in the universe as well as run this game idea for years. I finally did it. It was fun.

EItherscope RPG at ABG

Ran a pre-gen'ed adventure for a very cool game. The adventure wasn't really satisfying and I should have put more work into the characters. I really want to run this again

GenCon 2008 - AWESOME!

I was press, played some games, ran some games and bought some games. Interview people, met some people and had a general good time. Indy is a great city!

Music: Disturbed - Indestructible

Very good album. First few songs are just awesome, and the rest are pretty good.

ConCarolinas 2008

It was a blast for everyone. Biggest ever! Report is coming.

Music: Dokken - Lightening Strikes Again

Dokken is simply not the same anymore. Don`s voice is starting to show its age. 55 is pretty old to try to hit those high notes. The album itself is a lot better than the last one, but I can`t get past Don`s voice.

Lasik Surgery a SUCCESS! I CAN SEE!

The procedure was surreal and definitely not what was supposed to happen - changed procedures at the alst minute, I went under the blade,,,, ,uggh. But I can see VERY WELL! Woohooo!

Laser Eye Surgery May 9

Quite nervous!

Book: Flags of Our Fathers

An amazing and sad story. Uncommon Valor was a Common Virtue!

d20 Future High Colonies at ABG

Quite cool. This little campaign is really starting to come into its own. I had a blast!

"Tide of Iron" - Battle of St. Lo

John R and I played ToI and the second scenario in that game - the Battle of St Lo. All the Germans had to do was hold out, but the wave of American soldiers was just too great.

Good Band: Day of Fire

Very good Christian value based music. Great vocals and guitars!

Good Band: 12 Stones

Also a good band, similar to Day of Fire.

mini-mace 2008

Another one in the bucket! It was fun. Played `Starcraft` and then `Tide of Iron.` Both good games. Good turn out and now they want us to do more than one a year. Yikes!

Starcraft: The Board Game (part 2)

Played with my regular group of friends. Chris J won the game by special victory condition. I spread out to thin, too fast.

I just had the greatest time with this game playing with my family (dad, my brother, my sister & her hubby, my wife, and Jordan). THis is really a hillarious game.

Keegan William McClung is born!

I have a son and he will be known as the Keegan-ator

EABA Code: Black at ABG 10-24-07

Playtested/Play-wrote my adventure for MACE. It is inspired by the 'Blood Red' adventure mentioned in the book, but I expanded it far past Greg's original intent. It was a blast!

Book: A Clash of Kings

Outstanding! Awesome fantasy!

Dragon*Con 2007

What can be said other than AWESOME again. Always an incredible time.
